Blowout of NR and SBR vulcanizates was studied using a microwave oven. Rubber vulcanizates with different contents of carbon black (0, 30, 50, 70 phr) and various cure systems (conventional, semi-EV, and EV) were prepared. Unfilled rubber vulcanizates did not exploded by irradiation of microwave, while carbon black-filled ones exploded within 10 min. A blowout time of the carbon black-filled rubber vulcanizate decreases with an increase of the content of carbon black in the vulcanizate. A blowout temperature of the organic additive-extracted vulcanizate is higher than that of the not-extracted one, but the extracted vulcanizate blows out faster than the not-extracted one. A blowout temperature of the overcured vulcanizate is higher than that of the undercured one with the same cure system. Temperatures of unfilled SBR vulcanizates heated by the microwave irradiation are lower than those of unfilled NR ones. The carbon black-filled SBR vulcanizates blow out at higher temperatures than the carbon black-filled NR ones. Blowout times of the carbon black-filled SBR vulcanizates are longer than those of the carbon black-filled NR ones.

Influence of the styrene content on the retraction behaviors of SBR vulcanizates was studied. SBRs with different styrene contents of 15 and 21 wt% were used. The vulcanizate with low styrene content started to recover at lower temperature than that with high one. The recovery rate of the vulcanizate with low styrene content was slower than that with high one. The recovery difference between the two vulcanizates with different styrene contents was larger for the carbon black-filled vulcanizates than for the silica-filled ones. The experimental results were explained with the glass transition temperature and modulus.

Water swelling behaviors of SBR vulcanizates with different reinforcing systems of carbon black, silica without a coupling agent, and silica containing a coupling agent were studied. Distilled water and 3.5% NaCl solution were used as swelling media. The water swelling ratios in the distilled water were higher than those in the salt solution. The water swelling ratios of the carbon black-filled samples were lower than those of the silica-filled ones. For the silica-filled SBR vulcanizates, the specimens without the silane coupling agent had higher water swelling ratios than those containing it. Water swelling behaviors of SBR composites with different 1,2-unit contents were also compared. The water swelling ratios tended to decrease by increasing the 1,2-unit content.

The purpose of this study is to get comparative results on the combined antioxidant systems comprised of MHPPD with IPPD, MHPPD with PBN and MHIPPD with MB when they are individually added to NR and SBR compound. Vulcanization characterstics and physical properties of the combined antioxidants have been studied by means of the Mooney viscometer, the Monsanto disc rheometer and so on. According to the test results, MHPPD with IPPD system has shown faster cure rate, better optimum cure time and shorter scorch time than other systems. The vulcanizate comprised of the MHPPD with IPPD antioxidant system has taken advantage of heat resistance, fluid resistance and antiozone resistance.

Crosslink density of a rubber vulcanizate determines the chemical and physical properties, while bound rubber is an important factor to estimate reinforcement of a filled rubber compound. Extender oil is added to a raw rubber with very high molecular weight for improving processability of a rubber composite. Influence of extender oil on crosslink density, bound rubber formation, and physical properties of solution styrene-butadiene rubber (SSBR) composites with differing microstructures was investigated. Crosslink densities of non-oil-extended SSBR (NO-SSBR) vulcanizates were higher than those of oil-extended SSBR (OE-SSBR) ones. Bound rubber contents of NO-SSBR compounds were also greater than those of OE-SSBR ones. The experimental results could be explained by interfering of extender oil. The OE-SSBR vulcanizates had low modulus but long elongation at break, whereas the NO-SSBR ones had high modulus but short elongation at break. It was found that the crosslink densities affected the physical properties more than the bound rubber contents. The moduli increased with increase in the crosslink density irrespective of extender oil, while the elongation at break decreased. Each variation of the tensile strengths of NO-SSBR and OE-SSBR vulcanizates with the crosslink density showed a decreasing trend. Tear strength of the OE-SSBR vulcanizate increased with increase in the crosslink density, whereas variation of the tear strength of NO-SSBR vulcanizate with the crosslink density showed a weak decreasing trend.

Ozone caused the crack on the surface of a rubber article by oxidation of double bond at room temperature. Wax migrates to the surface of a rubber article and makes a physical barrier to prevent process of ozonation. We investigated change of molecular weight distribution of waxes in unfilled NR, SBR, and BR vulcanizates before and after aging at room temperature for 6 months. Migration and evaporation behaviors of wax in a rubber article at ambient conditions help understand a role of wax as an antidegradant and appearance contamination of a rubber article. The relative intensity distribution of n-alkanes of the NR specimen after the aging was shifted to higher molecular weight compared with the relative intensity distribution before the aging, while those of the SBR specimen before and after the aging did not show a big difference.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reinforcement of inorganic filler silica, treated by MDI about SBR vulcanizate. The characteristics of vulcanization, physical properties, surface properties and dynamic properties were investigated after mixing those silica with SBR and unmodified silica with SBR. In this experiment only the quantity of silica was variable. In the vulcanization characteristics tested by rheometer, S-series showed the fastest scorch $time(t_{10})$ and optimum cure $time(t_{90})$. And in test or tensile characteristics hardness, tensile strength, 100%, 300% modulus and elongation were all appeared in the order of M>S-series. The characteristic bonding of urea between unmodified silica and MDI could be confirmed in IR spectrum. The shapes of silicas treated chemically were observed by SEM. And the dispersion of the filler in the SBR composite was uniform. In the dynamic characteristics by the RDS, the order of elastic modulus G' values was as follows : M>S-series, and also the order of damping values was as follows : M>S-series.

The purpose of this study is to investigate reinforced effect between silica treated by coupling agents and rubber matrix under the configuration chemical bonds, and the effect of silica particles coated by organic polymers using aluminum chloride as the catalyst. In vulcanization characteristies were tested by Curastometer. The M-series vulcanizates were reached to the fastest optimum cure $time(t_{90})$ and R-series vulcanizates with the same formula had the shorted optimum cure times. Tensile characteristics measuring with a tensile tester revealed that the M-series vulcanizate was the best in the physical properties, such as tensile strength. In 100% modulus, however, the S-series vulcanizates appeared to be better than the other vulcanizates. Also, hardness showed the following order : S-series>R-series>M-series with the order of elongation R-series>M-series>S-series. In SEM test, shapes of chemical treated silicas were observed. The dispersion of filler in the SBR composite appeard uniformly. In RDS test for the dynamic characteristics, G' indicates that S-3 shows the highest value with the next order M-3>R-3, and the order of damping values are as followe: M-3>M-3>R-3.
